Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.And I quote: “BOND is a tiny touch module.
It can be a pendant or a bracelet but it comes in pairs. You keep one and you give one to a friend. When you touch it, your friend feels it. We love tweets, we prefer tickles. The potential for using BOND as a way of communicating is limitless.” Brilliant! Because with Skype, FaceTime, phones, BBM, email, texts, Twitter and Facebook we really are starved for means of communicating with each other these days.

It’s said Facebook is thinking of change
To allow our emotions full range
Soon when somebody dies
You can click sympathise
Because liking it always felt strange
